our operations
NBPOL’s Corporate Office is in West New Britain (WNB), Papua New Guinea, and operates six sites – five in PNG and one in Solomon Islands. NBPOL has over 146,000 hectares of land bank, of which just over 90,000 hectares are planted with oil palm.
We operate over 50 estates, 13 palm oil mills and seven kernel crushing mills. Until 2018/19, NBPOL owned palm oil refineries in Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and WNB. These are now owned and managed by our parent company’s downstream business, Sime Darby Oils. NBPOL’s focus remains entirely on upstream palm oil operations.
Our sugar cane plantations comprise over 5,600 hectares, and our cattle pastures over 9,500 hectares. We also operate a sugar refining ethanol factory and two abattoirs to produce beef for our local markets.
NBPOL’s world-class Dami Research Station and Seeds Production Unit is located in West New Britain.
